Ingredients

Instructions

  • Prep the Cabbage. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut it in half, and remove the core. Shred the cabbage finely using a sharp knife or a mandolin.
  • Toast the Almonds. In a dry pan over medium heat, toast the flaked almonds until they turn golden brown and release a nutty aroma. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Once done, set aside.
  • In the same pan, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.
  • Add the shredded cabbage and stir to coat it evenly with the garlic-infused oil. Allow it to cook for 5-7 minutes or until the cabbage starts to soften.
  • Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender yet retains a slight crunch.
  • Gently fold in the toasted slivered almonds, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dish. The almonds will add a delightful crunch and a rich, nutty flavour.
  • Transfer the Almond Cabbage to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of colour and an extra layer of freshness.

Notes

Here are few examples and main characteristics of a bunch of cabbage varieties you can use to make this recipe:
- Savoy cabbage, with its crinkled leaves and milder taste, provides a delightful alternative for those seeking a tender and slightly sweet cabbage variety.
- Napa cabbage, known for its mild and slightly peppery flavour, is a staple in Asian cuisines and adds a unique twist to salads and stir-fries.
- Red cabbage, with its vibrant hue and robust, earthy taste, introduces a visually striking element to meals and is rich in antioxidants.
- Bok choy, a member of the cabbage family, is an excellent choice and works well in both cooked and raw applications. It’s ideal for those desiring a subtle nutty undertone.
